Headie One is leading the UK drilling scene right now, so it wasn’t entirely surprising that she found her way to the Top boy soundtrack last fall. However, that was simply a sign of great things to come for Headie One on the international stage. In recent months, there has been talk of a collaboration with the two that was later confirmed after a snippet of their video leak. Today, they have officially released their collaboration, “Only You Freestyle” in its entirety.
Without a hook, Headie One swaps bars with the biggest pop star with her latest single. Drake is on his way as he seems to mimic the flow of Headie One in the first verse. With references to Maya Jama, Drake’s further strengthens the cultural connection between Toronto and London with the use of shared regional jargon. At one point, he also raps in Arabic, which continues to prove him to be a worldly man. Drake later changes the flow with a grimmer tint that one might interpret as an opportunity for Wiley. In fact, it’s probably an opportunity for Wiley.
For anyone who has followed the simulation scene in the UK for the past two years, Headie One asserted itself as the leader on the scene. Even with the world’s biggest pop star, Headie One’s cool, quiet delivery is intact as he reflects on the traumatic memories of the trap with a smile as he rewards the rewards of his labor.
Quotable lyrics
N *** how we want a piece like cassava but we let the bridge burn like Grabba
Woi, four on the klizz and one on the headie
Don’t shake your hand man keep it steady
Man love pose with the ting for a photo,
Your man should look for the clink by now
Hezi love man, hezi
Yes, I can’t go back to the Prezi
You know when meat tastes like vegetables
Gyal golden doll for mani, pedi
CC bag looks good, but Birkin bag looks much heavier
.
